TV Fixture Named Harvard Hasty Pudding Man of the Year

An actor who has been beefing up his resume with TV work after establishing himself in movies was named Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatrical’s — the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe. TVNewser.com reports that this year’s honor goes to Kiefer Sutherland.

“The Golden Globe-winning actor will be roasted and receive his ceremonial pudding pot at a ceremony scheduled for Friday,” the story reports. “The awards are presented annually to performers who have made a lasting and impressive contribution to entertainment. The 2013 Woman of the Year, Marion Cotillard, was honored last week.”

Sutherland has been appearing in the Fox drama series “Touch” after a critically acclaimed run on the network’s “24” — for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe along with two Screen Actors Guild Awards. Before setting up shop on the small screen he was a fixture in feature films including “69,” “Flatliners” and “Dark City.”
